Lotr Battle For Middle Earth 2 Download
Jan 30, 2011 Anybody know of any websites selling Battle For Middle Earth 2 for the PC? Prefer a digital download. Download The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth 2 - Patch v1.06. This patch fixes the terrible lag introduced by pat 1.05.
EA no longer owns the BFME/LOTR licence, so they're not actually allowed to make the game available to buy. But they still own the game itself, so nobody else can take it and re-publish it either. If EA would sell the game rights to whoever currently owns the LOTR licence, then they could re-publish it, but EA hasn't done that, probably because they'd rather nobody makes any money off of it, than let anyone else do it.I might catch some flak for this, but if you really want to play it, just pirate it. As far as I'm concerned, if a publisher has made it impossible to give them money for their game (through their own actions or inaction), then there's nothing wrong with just taking it. I mean, what's the alternative? Give some jackass on ebay or amazon some insane amount of money, none of which will ever go to the game's publisher or developer, for a used copy that might not even work? You deserve to play that game far more than some guy who bought it years ago deserves $200.

You find it on eBay and similar websites. The way I see it.if it is no longer available as a retail purchase there is no such thing as pirating.Exactly this.
The only difference between a game that's not available to purchase and abandonware is a stubborn publisher who would rather not let anyone play the game than make money.Oh, I didn't know it was completely off the market.I was more referring to cheap ebay auctions that you might find, but there's a bigger issue here. If the rights have been removed completely, would the game still activate online? (as in are the servers still up?).
Lol there aren't any cheap auctions for BFME 1, 2, or Witch-king. I've been holding on to my physical copies for dear life; not because I want to sell, just because I know if I mess up one of the discs I'm SOL.I found BFME1 full boxed copy with everything in it for two bucks at a used bookstore.

That's really your best bet. Just camp out in stores like that and you'll strike gold eventually.Well there ARE cheap auctions if you look and wait for themthe activation might be the issue here.
Once one of the dominant genres on computers, real-time strategy games have slowly, gradually fallen out of favor with publishers and consumers alike. One reason is the lack of ingenuity, with a glut of games aspiring to do little more than deliver a Command & Conquer or an Age of Empires with different units and maps.
At first blush, Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II seems to continue this disappointing trend, offering few surprises with its interface or basic play mechanics. Yet its production values are so high, its exuberance for the source material so obvious, it might very well be as close to 'precious' as fans will likely see from Tolkien's works - at least until Middle-earth III.The success of Battle for Middle-earth II lies not in its design, but its attention to detail. The animation makes it feel like Tolkien's world is living, cheering, and hissing on your desktop. Goblins scamper across the terrain and scale walls like spiders, archers carefully pick off their prey from behind trees, and cave trolls heave boulders that send bodies flying. It's a game filled with emotion, as troops heroically sprint toward combat and raise their arms up in elation after a hard-fought battle. Each faction offers deliciously satisfying special techniques that can cause cataclysmic damage with a mere click of a button, from volleys of arrows raining down from the sky to an instantaneous appearance of eagles, Ents, or hobbits to wreak havoc on an enemy's plans.
'Hero' units such as Treebeard or Sauron have their own set of special powers as they gain experience, giving the game's otherwise familiar trappings a swift kick in the greaves.While the presentation and production values are close to the top of the genre, the game has some frustrating moments. The pathfinding AI is a problem and friendly fire can be devastating if you aren't actively babysitting your army. Siege units are largely unnecessary due to the power of hero and basic infantry units, and the computer's lust for destroying harmless structures can be exploited. On the plus side, the PC version features an enjoyable War of the Ring mode inspired by the board game Risk. Factor in an addictive skirmish mode, custom hero characters, and strong online support, and the AI faults can be forgiven. Battle for Middle-earth II is not quite the strategy game to rule them all, but fans of the books and film series will find the game's pull too strong, too compelling - like the One Ring itself - to resist.Graphics: Extremely well-animated characters, impressive fire effects, and memorable locales make for a thrilling experience.Sound: Howard Shore's impressive score gives gravitas to the battles, and the film-quality sound effects crackle.Enjoyment: The campaign is too short, the AI can be irritating, and the character balancing needs work.
Yet the game is still extremely fun to play, especially for fans of the series.Replay Value: The War of the Ring, skirmish, and multiplayer options will keep players glued to the screen. The solo campaign is disappointing, however, as it's too brief.People who downloaded Lord of the Rings, The: The Battle for Middle Earth II have also downloaded:,©2019 San Pedro Software Inc.
